CAUT says AUCC/Access Copyright Model License Agreement “is a bad deal”
The organization representing Canada’s university presidents announced an agreement April 16, with Access Copyright on a model copying license to cover the reproduction of paper and digital content on university campuses. CAUT says the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) agreement harms the interests of academic staff and students, fails to reflect current law and undermines efforts to create better ways of accessing, using and sharing educational and research material. CAUT urges institutions to refuse to enter into the model license.
